Remember?

22 Elul 5772

Remember when major events occurred once a century, then once a decade? Then, they started occurring every year - 2004 Asian Tsunami; 2005 Hurricane Katrina; 2006 Second Lebanon War; 2008 Economic Crash, etc.

Then, things changed. Time speeded up. In 2010, there were massive earthquakes in Haiti and then Chile (which was also accompanied by a tsunami), as well as the volcanic eruptions in Iceland which interrupted air travel across Europe. Then, there was the explosion and resulting oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. And that was followed by massive fires and a killing heat wave across Russia.

Now, it's happening every day. (Note: The following compilations of news reports are of non-Jewish origin.

It made me think about what Yosef HaTzadik told Paro in regard to the doubling of his dream: (Breishit 41:32) - "And concerning the repetition of the dream to Pharaohtwice, that is because the matter is ready to emanate from God, and God is hastening to execute it."
